For a probability measure μ on a subset of , the lower and upper L^q-dimensions of order are defined by We study the typical behaviour (in the sense of Baire’s category) of the L^q-dimensions and . We prove that a typical measure μ is as irregular as possible: for all q ≥ 1, the lower L^q-dimension attains the smallest possible value and the upper L^q-dimension attains the largest possible value.

Arithmetic mean of differences of Dedekind sums

Recently, Girstmair and Schoissengeier studied the asymptotic behavior of the arithmetic mean of Dedekind sums , as N → ∞. In this paper we consider the arithmetic mean of weighted differences of Dedekind sums in the form , where is a continuous function with , runs over , the set of Farey fractions of order Q in the unit interval [0,1] and are consecutive elements of . We show that the limit lim _Q→∞ A _h (Q) exists and is independent of h.     

The Similarity Between Finitary and Artinian-Finitary Groups

Let M be a module over the commutative ring R. The finitary automorphism group of M over R is and the Artinian-finitary automorphism group of M over R is We investigate further the surprisingly close relationship between these two types of automorphism groups. Their group theoretic properties seem practically identical.

Sums of the error term function in the mean square for ζ(s)

Sums of the form are investigated, where is the error term in the mean square formula for . The emphasis is on the case k = 1, which is more difficult than the corresponding sum for the divisor problem. The analysis requires bounds for the irrationality measure of e^2πm and for the partial quotients in its continued fraction expansion. Authors’ addresses: Y.

Cyclicity of bicyclic operators and completeness of translates      Evgeny Abakumov  Aharon Atzmon  Sophie Grivaux 《Mathematische Annalen》2008,341(2):293-322 We study cyclicity of operators on a separable Banach space which admit a bicyclic vector such that the norms of its images under the iterates of the operator satisfy certain growth conditions. A simple consequence of our main result is that a bicyclic unitary operator on a Banach space with separable dual is cyclic. Our results also imply that if is the shift operator acting on the weighted space of sequences , if the weight ω satisfies some regularity conditions and ω(n) = 1 for nonnegative n, then S is cyclic if . On the other hand one can see that S is not cyclic if the series diverges. We show that the question of Herrero whether either S or S* is cyclic on admits a positive answer when the series is convergent.
